If you've never looked at a jobs report, look at this one

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

We just saw a fantastic jobs report that pushed unemployment down half a percentage point. Despite all the uncertainty with the virus, the economy is showing its resilience. Almost one million jobs added, especially in the summer, is truly excellent news. The numbers say leisure and hospitality are finally starting to rebound, and governments started hiring again as well. And another week means another inflation conversation -- what's the big picture look like and what's the Fed looking to do to bring inflation in check? David Fiorenza, economist at the Villanova School of Business joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about what happened this week in the economy and what it means for all of us in our daily lives.
